To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE P. CLEMENTs, a citizen of the United States,residing at New Milford, in the county of Susquehanna and State ofPennsylvania, haveinvented certain new .and useful Improvements inSash-Fasteners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appert-ains to make and use thesame. Y

My invention relates to certain improve ments in sash-fasteners, and ismore especially adapted to car-windows, though it can be used on windowsof any kind. Itis so constructed that all rattling and jarring is4prevented; and it consists of a metal slide secured t0 the window-sashand working on albead or strip fastened to the window-frame, the slidebeing provided with a set-screw for adjusting the window at any desiredpoint, `the knob of which set-screw is also used to raise andlower thewindow, all ofV which I will now proceed more particularly to pointV outand describe,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure l isa perspective.. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken through the center ofthe screw.' Fig. 3' is a perspective of the slide removed from thewindow. y

Referring to said drawings, A is the window-frame, B the window'sash. Cis a metal slide attached to the lower part of the sash by the screwsf,and is provided with a slot, c. D is a strip or bead secured to thewindowframe by the screws Land litting in the slot c of the slide C.Said slide C works on the bead D. E is a set-screw working in the VslideC, and, binding against the bead D, serves to hold the sash at theposition of adjustment. Said screw is provided with 'a knob, e, which isused to tighten` or loosen the screw, and to raise or lower window.

The operation of my fastener is as follows: By turning the knob to theleft," the setscrew is loosened from Contact with the bead D, and

the window can be raised or lowered to the desired position. Then,turning the knob lo the right, it binds against the bead D and holds thewindow firmly in place, thus preventing any rattling or jarring.

This sash-fastener is Very effective, can be made cheaply, and is sosimple in construc-` GEORGE I. GLElvIENlS.-
